Anya: I've been told that also about the yin yang symbol meaning everything
from "female/male" to "good/evil"...but it always seems to symbolize two
counterparts coming together to form a perfect circle. ____________________ "When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I've never

That's roughly how it crossed me as. To me, it's a balance of sort. Life
and death, masculine and feminine, aggression and passive, passion and
cold, etc. Cannot have one without the other or there'd be imbalance
(someone being pure yin would be dead and without yin, no one could die,
etc).

Contrary to what Hollywood shows you, there's 'twisted' views of faith
everywhere (referring to the megalomaniacs and/or blood sacrifices that
Hollywood likes to show as a witch or pagan image *shakes head*).
Here's something that sounds repetitive (disgusting to me, but that's
me...just read every_single_definition stated):
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=pagan
Also in one of the dictionaries out there, they have wicca meaning archaeic
(sp?) for wisdom(not the drop of the ball, keep reading)... then says to
see pagan, which one of the definitions they had was "ignorant"(*ball
drop*). I'm curious on how someone got the idea of someone being
considered ignorant just because of their faith. The thing that totally
drops the ball is that even Hollywood and other famous things out there
advertises this stuff. Amazing how high people can get by antagonizing the
paranormal/different/not-the-crowd/etc. *shakes head*
Wasn't 100% with the subject, but thought I'd bring that up while we're in
this discussion. |

Its kinda sad how a lot of Religions are StereoTyped..... I still dont
agree with the whole "Dark Paganism" spiel just because of what I believe
and I totally agree that you dont have to be openminded athough sometimes
its nice but hey if some one is closeminded or what ever your definition of
closeminded might be who cares if some one is set in their ways then who
are you to them to say something that in your mind you think that you can
change that. religion is always a touchy subject and tends to light a fuer
under peoples asses and its a real controversal subject just becuase
everybody has their own veiws beliefs and ideas........... ____________________ My Life is like a porno-Without the sex-Just the weird music |
